For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404.

b. Additionally, the price proposal may also undergo a price realism evaluation for the purpose of measuring the Contractor's understanding of the solicitation requirements and for assessing the performance risk inherent in the Contractor's price.

c. The Contractor is cautioned that its proposal may be rejected if it is found to be materially unbalanced in the base period or any option periods. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated.

d. Unbalanced pricing or failure to include pricing for all CLINS, including option CLINs to increase events and option periods, will render proposal pricing as non-responsive.

(3) Paragraph (h)(ii) Price Data – paragraph a. has changed:

(d) Basis for Award: This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) technique to make a best value award decision. The application of the LPTA technique in the contract award selection and approval process is as follows:

(i) The Government will review the two lowest priced offers and if both are deemed technically and performance acceptable, award will go to the lowest priced offeror and no further proposals shall be reviewed.

If either of the two lowest priced offers are not deemed technically and performance acceptable, the next lowest priced offer shall be reviewed for technical and performance acceptability. If this offer is not deemed acceptable, this process shall continue until two offerors are deemed technically and performance acceptable.

Note: In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), as prescribed in FAR 12.301(b)(1), "The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors" (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer (CO) to be necessary." A competitive range will be established and discussions will only be with those offerors in the competitive range. The CO may request offerors of marginal proposals to submit clarifications of areas identified by the technical proposal evaluation team. In initiating a request, the CO will set an appropriate time for submission of such information. Late submissions will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f) "Late Submissions". The clarification information will be incorporated as part of the proposal.

(ii) The lowest priced technically acceptable proposal will be deemed the successful offeror and award shall be made to this offeror, subject to a positive responsibility determination.

(e) Technical Area:

(i) A technical review team composed of key Government personnel will use their technical skill, knowledge and experience to thoroughly review the adequacy of proposals. Each proposal will be evaluated by application of the assessment criteria to each subfactor in the technical proposal. Only those proposals determined technically acceptable will be considered for award. Each subfactor will be considered acceptable or unacceptable as defined below:

Acceptable: Proposal meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

(ii) Offerors must pass all Technical subfactors in order to be deemed technically acceptable:

(f) Part I – Technical Proposal (Factor 1):

(i) The technical proposal shall not make reference to price data. It will be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable and will consist of three (3) subfactors. ALL subfactors must be deemed acceptable in order to be technically acceptable.

(ii) Technical Proposal Requirements: The technical proposal will primarily describe the capability of your organization to perform the requirements of the contract, it shall be specific and complete. The proposal shall not merely offer to perform work in accordance with the Performance Work Statement, but shall outline the actual method proposed as specifically as possible. Non-conformance with the instructions provided may result in an unacceptable technical evaluation (e.g. if Technical Proposal does not include a Compliance Matrix immediately after the Table of Contents, it will be considered unacceptable).

(iii) The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but, rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements.

At a minimum, the plan included an organizational chart with each position, outlined IAW PWS 1.1.2., and stated whether position will be full or part time and the hours of operations.

3. Subfactor 3 – Staffing and Retention Plan. This subfactor is met if the offeror demonstrated the ability to recruit and maintain a stable, experienced staff to provide 16TRS with continuity of support services for the long-term need. The staffing and retention plan, IAW FAR 52.222-17, Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers and PWS 1.1.3, demonstrated, in great detail, how sound business practices are used to ensure the offeror is able to identify, screen, place, monitor, train, and retain qualified candidates to fulfill service requirements under this contract. The plan explained the methodology by which the contractor processes and screens potential candidates for positions that require security clearance so that no time is wasted with unqualified candidates or administrative processing delays. Offeror showed their staffing and retention plan has been used for the past two years maintaining a 95% fill rate.

(g) Part II – Past Performance (Factor 2):

(i) Past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305. The comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis as defined below:

Acceptable: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Contractor's Past Performance used the 2-page Attachment 4, PPIS for the basic information and provided no more than three (3) of the most recent and relevant (defined below) contracts performed for federal agencies and commercial customers.

Recent is defined as within the last three (3) years (contract is currently on-going or ended after 31

August 2014.

Relevant is defined as contract work in the area of Flight Simulation Training Support as identified in the scope of work of the Performance Work Statement (Attachment 1 to this solicitation).

The Government will determine relevance by analyzing the "scope", "magnitude" and "complexity" of the reference contracts and comparing them to the instant requirement. The Government reserves the right to evaluate submitted projects individually or in the aggregate in order to determine relevance and will do so consistently across all evaluated offers. The Government will also consider the quality of the Contractor's relevant past performance.

The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. The Government will consider the quality of an offeror's past performance. This consideration is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination. The assessment of the offeror's relevant past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. In determining the rating (acceptable or unacceptable) for the past performance evaluation factor, the Government will give greater consideration to the contracts which the Government feels are most relevant to the RFP.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable."

The prime contractor's past performance weighs more heavily than that of the sub-contractor's past performance.

(h) Part III – Price Area/Data (Factor 3)

(i) Price Area – The offeror's proposal price will be determined by multiplying the quantity times the unit price for the CLIN (Contract Line Item Number) and totaling the product of that calculation for all priced CLINs, to include option CLINs to increase events and all option periods to arrive at a total estimated contract value. It is reiterated from FAR 52.212-2: "The total price of the proposal inclusive of all CLINs for the base period, all possible option periods to be exercised under FAR clause 52.217-9, and/or any possible extension under FAR clause 52.217-8 for six (6) months will be evaluated" amongst the other proposals and the IGE.

a. The offerors price evaluation criteria will not be rated, but will be evaluated for reasonableness and will be used in determining the best value to the Government. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404.

b. Additionally, the price proposal may also undergo a price realism evaluation for the purpose of measuring the Contractor's understanding of the solicitation requirements and for assessing the performance risk inherent in the Contractor's price.

c. The Contractor is cautioned that its proposal may be rejected if it is found to be materially unbalanced in the base period or any option periods. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated.

d. Unbalanced pricing or failure to include pricing for all CLINS, including option CLINs to increase events and option periods, will render proposal pricing as non-responsive.

(ii) Price Data – This section of the proposal shall include only the following:

a. The signed Standard Form 1449, Solicitation/Contract, returned in its entirety along with all fill-in provisions/clauses and the completed Attachment 1.1, Bid Sheet.

b. Complete all blanks for unit and total prices for Base and Option Years.

c. Any, signed, solicitation amendments thereto.
